Did the NFL’s New Super Bowl LXI Poster Predict a Bills vs Cowboys Matchup???

Last year the NFL put out an artist's rendering of all 32 starting quarterbacks looking toward the field, and the two closest to the Super Bowl stadium, Sam Darnold and Drake Maye, were the two who ended up playing in it.

Rich still can't believe that happened. He did point out that it isn't a perfect crystal ball. Some of the quarterbacks near them got hurt or traded, including Jayden Daniels getting hurt, so there may be a bit of a Sports Illustrated cover jinx mixed in with the insight.

Now there is a new season and a new rendering, and the show zoomed in to read the tea leaves.

This year, every quarterback is looking at SoFi Stadium, the site of Super Bowl LXI. The first thing the room noticed: Darnold and Maye are now the furthest away. They even have to turn around and look the other way.

So who is closest? The early read on set was Trevor Lawrence and Dak Prescott, which would point to Jacksonville and Dallas. That kicked off a surprisingly heated debate over the artwork.

Patrick Surtain is up front, and so is Jonathan Taylor, though both play in the AFC. Bijan Robinson has an unobstructed view. Aaron Rodgers has to hop over Robinson to get there. Baker Mayfield is in the mix.

Then someone asked the obvious question. Where is the Bills quarterback? Josh Allen turns out to be far to the right, on the outside with Justin Herbert. Is he closer than Lawrence? Is Surtain closer than both? The table could not agree.

Whoever is closest, one possibility got everyone's attention. If this poster is pointing to Bills and Cowboys, the reaction was unanimous. Things would break. "That'd be best for business."

There were a few more details worth noting for the conspiracy file. That appears to be Brian Burns on the left, representing the Giants, but Prescott seems to have a shoulder on him. Saquon Barkley is right there too.

The show's official analysis: read into that what you will.
